Enjoyed our stay very much. Loved having the big grassy yard. Also the benefit of a large garage to store my bike, kayaks and paddle boards. The owner was very nice to work with. We would definitely book again!

Dream vacation

The cabin is beautiful, the lake is beautiful and the hospitality of the host was amazing. Walked into the cabin to relaxing music playing and a welcome basket full of treats. Two bags of ice in the fridge and a ton of free wood to use. The cabin was clean and we had an amazing time! We would highly recommend staying here!!!

Second stay at this cabin.

Tina knows what she’s doing. We stayed here two years ago and the cabin is just as nice, if not better than that time. Having the garage is a big plus this time of year due to the temperature and wind. A++

As promised

Tina knows what she’s doing. This is our third stay and the property is charming and well maintained. The detached garage is a plus for loading the vehicle on those windy and/or cold days in October. Would highly recommend staying here.

Graduation

My wife and I came up to Watertown to attend the graduation of a friend's granddaughter. The cabin fit us just perfectly. The weather turned cold and rainy and the cabin was very cozy. Tina was very responsive to all of my texts. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this adorable cabin that is located right on the lake. The cabin is modern but rustic with all the amenities.The driveway was large enough for our truck and boat and a few more cars for friends to visit.The homeowners are easy to reach via phone if there is any issues.The sunset views are perfect and the lawn was large enough to accommodate our goldendoodle.The location of this cabin is in a convenient spot to access the walking trail and just 10min from town to explore all that Watertown has to offer. Highly recommend this property!

The cabin was very clean and the property had a new dock for our boat and a large yard for games and a firepit. We rode our bikes on the trails all around the lake, about a 15 mile trip. All in all we had a great time!

We have stayed here before and will stay again. Nice cabin is well maintained and has everything we need. For an October stay the garage is a blessing. Haven’t been there in the summer but the location on the lake and outdoor amenities have to make a warm weather stay an excellent adventure.

Review

Overall this is a cute little property. It is not however, suitable for infants and toddlers. There is no place to play in the water, as there are too many rocks on the beach, it is not sandy. The steps down to the dock were taken apart or separated and my elderly mother-in-law did not feel safe walking down them. We feel that the home itself was not the right pick for a family with young children. Also, is not suitable for toddlers to sleep either because they are too little for bunkbeds and too uncomfortable in a pack and play. Speaking of uncomfortable, there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms, only in the kitchen. they did not have a proper highchair, and the booster seat they said they had would not fit the chairs at the kitchen table. The infant high chair was dirty and gross. It is not ideal to dock your boat at this location. There is no fenced in yard for pets. It is very close to the main road which was not shown in the pictures. They limited the amenities to make you buy things like garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent which I think should be included in your stay. The owner was very nice and pleasant. We received a gift basket but could not use many of the items in it. I would omit that. Again, we just figured this property was not right for our family with our one-year-old and 2 1/2-year-old. It’s a great property for other people and the owner was wonderful to work with.
